100. Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us (A hymn for covenant children)

1 Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care,
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are,
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

2 We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,
Be the Guardian of our way,
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
Seek us when we go astray:
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Hear Thy children when they pray,
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Hear Thy children when they pray.

3 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful tho' we be,
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and pow'r to free;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee,
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Early let us turn to Thee.

4 Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us seek Thy will,
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our bosoms fill;
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still,
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.
